For this project, our clients wanted a home that reflected their elevated style and supported their growing family. With young daughters, a new baby on the way, and a nanny suite that needed both accessibility and privacy, this design was all about balancing sophistication with family-friendly functionality.
We reimagined multiple spaces, ensuring every room spoke to each other while maintaining its personality. Their daughters’ bedrooms feel more vibrant and personal, with thoughtful details like new lighting, fresh paint, and furniture that will transition with them as they grow. The nursery became a dreamy retreat featuring cloud-like textures and soft, celestial touches—an enchanting space designed for their newest addition.
The attic, once an afterthought, is now an extension of the home that feels as if it was always meant to be there. The office was designed with depth and refinement, incorporating a built-in library cabinet with a striking black slab background and moody furnishings that add a sense of sophistication.
This project was about creating a home that effortlessly evolves with their growing family—where elegance and practicality go hand in hand, and every space feels elevated and deeply livable.

This basement renovation in Foxcroft was designed in partnership with Habitude Interiors to create a comfortable and highly functional extension of the home. The goal of the project was to transform the lower level into a warm, inviting living space that blends seamlessly with the rest of the house while adding practical everyday functionality.
The renovation included a custom bathroom, home bar, living room, bedroom, dining space, mudroom, updated staircase, and a thoughtfully designed under-stair built-in nook. Each area was carefully planned to maximize storage, improve flow, and create a cohesive design aesthetic throughout the basement.
By combining timeless finishes, custom millwork, and layered textures, this once underutilized basement was transformed into a beautifully finished living environment perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and hosting guests.

Kitchen from condo renovation in Upper West Side, Manhattan.
ABOUT THE RENOVATION
Very often, getting what you want is simply about timing. After years of owning her Upper West Side co-op in Lincoln Square and making various small renovations along the way, our client decided to go all-out and advance with her dream renovation after being eased into the significant decision by our full-service design-build approach, extensive pre-planning process, out of the box design strategy, and thorough estimate. The results of this stunning renovation speak for themselves.
SPACIOUS CENTERPIECE KITCHEN
With many condos in Manhattan, the kitchen is the home’s focal point. In this case, the client’s goal was to reinvigorate this critical space via a classic interior design style with modern and contemporary touches. Beyond introducing updated appliances and pendant lighting, we added immaculate natural stone countertops and backsplash, along with opaque Tribeca shaker cabinets throughout the space.
TWO BATHROOMS, TWICE AS NICE
When the opportunity to add a bathroom to your Manhattan condo presents itself, you take advantage. Part of our renovation of this USW condo included an additional bathroom, in addition to a total overhaul of the ensuite bathroom. For the main bath, we turned the dreary old space into a soft and elegant sanctuary that’s warming as the sunlight beaming in, thanks to the sleek nickel-finish fixtures and custom marble tile. In the newly-created guest bathroom, we delivered an upscale, timeless design incorporating gleaming subway tiles, bold brass fixtures, and exquisite deco hexagon flooring.
PERMA-WFH OFFICE WITH CUSTOM MURPHY BED & STORAGE
After being thrust into a permanent work from home schedule due to the pandemic, our client decided to incorporate more of a formal home office space into her guest bedroom - a space where she also required additional storage. The problem was she didn't want to give up the practicality of a spare bedroom. To maintain the added bedroom availability and also provide a proper office space, we created a custom Murphy bed and desk area with custom millwork for enhanced organization with a perfectly narrow personal desk area nestled to the left of the large built-in.
ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
- We Incorporated Various Square/hexagon Features Throughout The Space, Per Client Preference
- Laundry Relocation For Added Space And Preference

This modern, kitchen remodel reimagined the main living spaces for better flow, function, and everyday living. We removed the existing fireplace and framed a new wall in its place to create a cleaner, more cohesive layout. The back door was relocated to improve circulation, the French doors were removed, and the existing beam was updated to accommodate the new open-concept design. The kitchen was expanded into the former dining room, creating a spacious gathering place with abundant custom storage and thoughtfully designed workspaces. A garden window bump-out brings in natural light while providing the perfect spot for growing fresh herbs year-round. To maximize functionality, we also extended the mudroom into the garage, creating a dedicated drop zone with additional storage for busy daily routines. The finished space combines warm natural materials, clean modern lines, and practical design solutions, resulting in a home that feels both inviting and highly functional.

This fully finished lower level was designed to extend the home’s livability while maintaining the same level of craftsmanship and intention found throughout the main living spaces. Every detail balances durability, comfort, and understated elegance—transforming what could be purely functional square footage into a true extension of the home.
The entry and stair landing sets the tone with warm wood stair treads, soft neutral wall tones, and patterned tile flooring that adds visual interest while standing up to daily use. Recessed lighting keeps the space bright and welcoming, creating a seamless transition between levels.
A private guest bedroom offers a quiet retreat, featuring plush carpeting, layered recessed lighting, and a modern ceiling fan for year-round comfort. Neutral finishes and clean lines create a calming environment suitable for guests or extended stays.

The laundry and utility room blends practicality with thoughtful design, offering custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and durable flooring in a layout that makes everyday tasks feel effortless and organized.

Adirondack Camp is a spirited interpretation of the local vernacular. Our clients had bought and extensively renovated a small old log cabin on a lake in the Adirondacks a couple of years before coming to us to help them expand the program with three additional bedrooms and bathrooms so that their whole family could be there together.
The addition we designed took the form of a tower, with one bedroom and bathroom on each floor, connected to the old cabin by a hyphen which serves as the new entry. The tower is visually a vertical foil to the more horizontal cabin and gives the master bedroom on the top floor a lovely view through the pine trees to the lake. One inspiration for the tower was the old fire towers that patrol the Adirondack mountaintops. The tower was also a practical response to a limited area for expansion.

Nestled in the treetops overlooking Lake Sarah, this second-story addition was designed as both a retreat and an extension of home. Elevated above the shoreline, the new spaces immerse the homeowners in the beauty of their surroundings while supporting the rhythm of daily life.

Every space reflects the homeowners’ lifestyle—places where creativity can flourish, where moments of reflection are possible, and where memories with friends and family can be made. Natural light, framed views, and a strong connection to the outdoors guided the design, ensuring that each room feels both purposeful and restorative.
Outside, durable cement board siding, anodized aluminum Marvin windows, and composite decking ensure lasting performance. Inside, walnut flooring and custom millwork bring warmth and texture, balancing comfort with modern practicality
This project goes beyond adding square footage. It creates a sanctuary—an elevated experience of home where living, creating, and connecting come together in the treetops.

This project involved updating a 1922 craftsman bungalow with a brighter, more modern palette while incorporating elements of the family's Asian and Latin/Texan heritage. The home lacked a true entryway, so cabinets and hooks were added to create a practical and stylish space for shoes, bags, and keys. The living room was redesigned to incorporate swivel chairs and an ottoman for a more dynamic layout, and the dining room features a white oak table that can be extended for large family gatherings. The home office was designed to serve as a workspace, TV room, and guest room, with a spacious console/media cabinet, a hide-a-bed chair, and tall white bookcases to display the family's extensive book collection. The project was completed in March 2022.
